Chapter 5: Emma's mockery

Leah didn't get a good night's sleep over the night. She was worried about what Louis would think when he regained consciousness and discovered he was married.

Will he accept the marriage and understand that they had no option at that point than to get him married and save his company.

Sitting by Louis' bedside, Leah held his hand as a lone tear fell off her eyes. She sniffled. Who would believe that her son, the rich young millionaire in Oak city, has been reduced this pale thin fellow on the bed before her?

"Louis I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I want you to know that whatever decision your father and I made on your behalf⋯."Leah trailed off.

She couldn't control her emotions. She felt her voice choking and she sobbed quietly. She took a deep breath and then continued "...yeah whatever decision we made, was taken only for your interest and good. You know how much we love you and our world revolves around you, alone.

Wake up soon, son. I am losing it. I don't think I can hold on longer than I have already. Today is your wedding to the eldest daughter of the Grayson's family.

I hope you wake up soon and carry out the responsibility of a husband to her and get us a grandchild⋯"

Leah Hayden came downstairs and instructed the servants that the master bedroom be put in order, the bride would arrive that day.

They should equally realise that the madam of the house would be arriving and she should be accorded the respect she deserves.

The servants bowed their heads and nodded in unison. Leah Hayden, having given instructions, whispered into Louis Hayden's assistant ears, before she left.

The servants exchanged glances. Get the master bedroom ready, for who? Isn't Mr Hayden in a coma and from every information they heard so far, he might remain in that condition for the rest of his life.

Even life support couldn't help him. Otherwise, he would have been out of coma for a long time now.

Pamela sat before the vanity mirror as she was being dressed. She's never seen a bridal dressed in such an expensive and exquisite wedding dress like the one she has on.

Her long beautiful wedding dress was decorated with diamond stones all over it. She wasn't told nor was she interested in asking, but she knew the wedding dress would be the best and most expensive one in Oak city.

No matter how classical, expensive and impressive the wedding dress is, it meant nothing to her. She was wearing it because she was compelled to wear it.

If the wedding was born out of love and happiness, she would cherish every minute she had the dress on her body, but then she was being sent away like a dumb lamp who has no say about itself.

Her supposed husband is lying in a coma and she was dressed so elaborately just to be referred to as his wife.
